applied research work to find alternative resources to combat feed shortages.<\/li>\n<li>Utilization of recent approaches of biotechnology to enhance the scientific activities of the division.<\/li>\n<li>Creating a real and fruitful cooperation with the Bedouin peoples to benefit the results of our research programme.<\/li>\n<li>Utilization of natural rangelands as the main source of feed, augmented by feed supplement treatment of unpalatable range plants for the use as animal feed.<\/li>\n<li>Utilization of agro industrial by products as animal feed, and utilization of animal waste in diet and in biogas production.<\/li>\n<li>Applying the recent approaches and techniques in the field of animal and poultry nutrition.<\/li>\n<li>The reproductive performance of desert animals.<\/li>\n<li>Housing of desert animals.<\/li>\n<li>Adaptation to desert conditions, including heat stress and water salinity.<\/li>\n<li>Studying toxic plants in natural range areas as well as parasites and diseases specific to desert areas.<\/li>\n<li>The different characteristics of local wool for industrial use.<\/li>\n<li>Early selection for fleece quality.<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n<p
